My plan is to try my hand at intentionally breeding the turquoise rainbows. Then when my boesmani get older I'll maybe try them depending how it goes. They sell for a good penny in my area. And I can use them for the BAP program which I'm excited about actually. I've even picked out some plants for the HAP program for next month.

Boes breed readily. Mine did all the time but I never got a chance to try to get eggs. I made one attempt and was literally chasing them with a turkey baster...tetras capitalized on that immediately lol.
Habrosus and brevis on your pals page...good to know! I would be curious what other kinds of cories he can get. I passed up some robinae and wish I hadn't...
 
He and the rainbow guy wholesale too.
I am not sure if he has any Robinae. I'll ask next time I email him which will be later today. Like I said he has so much that isn't on that site. I'm buying a bunch of plecos from him because he wants to get out of plecos mostly. He's retired and does swaps and stuff and reads my emails lol. Most of the fish club people seem retired or about half of them I'd say. Few women.

The common Australian rainbow, splendida splendida spawn in floating plants. I've raised some of their fry. The turquoise and boesmani it was recommended to me to use mops like with killifish. The fry are tiny so they need microworms etc. I have some. Now in with corys. I was told this is the way to go because the fry only eat from top 3rd of water and the cory fry eat from anywhere so the tank will stay cleaner and be better utilized.

Don't be sorry. No one person on here knows everything.

Just did pwc on 2 killifish tanks, bivittatum fry all came out to see me and the gardneri male attacked the siphon as usual but they have larger fry than I first realized. May have to start separating them out soon. Not sure how long fry can stay with parents. I'll email a guy I know from the killifish club and ask. Lol I'm always emailing someone asking something.

So I'm slowly marking each and every cord. Blue for filters, yellow is lights, red heaters and white means air pumps. If I was really slick each tank would have a number and that number would be on the electrical tape. Still may do that.

Bren if that guy has a list of cories I would be happy to peek at it.
I had my boes with my silver dollars, no plants and barely any scaping (I know, I know) and they just bred wherever whenever and let the eggs fly around

I'll see what I can do. Too cold to ship right now though. My boesmani may be two males. Now that I look at the one i thought was female it doesn't look like the female of the pair I just purchased. The pair is young yet so I'm going to try turquoise first.

Good advice. That's going to be next then. I'm working my way through the racks as I do water changes. Just taking a little break to check the forum. Lol I have so much written on the tanks.

Buces- my honest opinion is avoid them for the next few years. They're a get rich quick scam. Watch the YouTube videos, who has guns at plant mills??? Not saying they're impossible but they are a cruel mistress. Now... I've accepted orders from a few sources, most show up like a pile of excrement and some.look great. They're mainly grown emersed, they grow in the wild, emersed in shaded river/brook areas. They can make the turn under water and make a recovery but I have yet to see it in my tanks. I've grown them in 4 setups. High tech, low tech, high flow.. blah blah blah over it..like I said.. few years when the corny branding had subsided and someone can actually provide a decently sustainable product?? cool mo buce time..
